Calendars aim to raise charity cash - Northampton Chronicle & Echo
Northampton-born Olympic hopeful Hollie Avil has posed for a charity calendar in aid of Wellbeing of Women. The 21-year-old triathlete joined fellow female members of team GB to model underwear from lingerie firm Nichole de Carle London for the calendar, which will go on sale in the New Year.

Yes, this is the same newspaper article I linked to yesterday, and it really does feature two calendars. But see the Telegraph, the Mirror, or the Daily Mail if you prefer. And buy it here.

I love this photograph. Everyone's smiling! They're clearly having a blast.

The group has raised over a half million dollars for cancer research over the last three years. Write to Alan Clarance for details or to buy. Can't imagine why they're not selling them on their web site.

Yes, I am afraid it is that special time of year again. The time when the good people of this country take on their favourite charity by taking off their clothes. The time for the rest of us to shop, to dig deep, to look though rose-tinted spectacles and choose the best nude charity calendars of 2012. And this year, there seem to be more calendars than ever before.

A part of you might want to scream ‘People of Britain, put your clothes back on!’ But no country on earth has taken to this naked act of charity more than the Brits.

That's probably true. As a percentage of the total population, we've probably seen more undraped Englishwomen than any other nationality. But although the extended headline begs Britons to stop losing their kit, the article itself presents a more friendly attitude. Ms Moir gives plenty of welcome attention to dozens of good people and their many worthy charities, which is really what it's all about.
